fastblatt Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi. Can anyone tell me what Mk2 models had power steering as standard and what is required to convert a 2000/2500/Pi to power steering? Are there any interchangeable parts, ie the rack from a Stag? (I read the other post about the uj)Many thanksMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnicholson Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 If you are interested I have most parts available for the conversion, I would strongly recommend the conversion, it transforms the car into a pleasant carefree drive. It is very light in all conditions.Power steering rackengine front platepipeshigh and low pressure hosesfront crossmemberpumpYou will need the radiator hoses and a few bolts, fan belt, a mounting bracket for the pump, and two pulley bottom crank, al of which can be got for a good price from Chris Wittor amongst otherssend me a message if you are interested.thanksCarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastblatt Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Wow what a fantastic response in such a short time. Thankyou all. Mr scrapman, Ideally I am after a tax exempt Mk11 auto in good to very good condition on the road (already got a project waiting for my attention), not brown or french blue. Carl, if the right car turns up that needs the conversion I will contact you.Many thanksMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piman Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hello Carl, "it transforms the car into a pleasant carefree drive."each to their own but I prefer the feel of a manual steering car and don't find it other than pleasant and carefree to drive?Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnicholson Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 in fairness, i didn't spend most of my life in the gym so I found it better than the manual steering 2000 that i owned before this one, the Girlfriend can actually drive this one too...I do agree it is good to get a feel for the road though...

Lord Sorbington Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 2000s with manual steering aren't bad but they feel really low geared and heavy compared to one with PAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastblatt Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Personally I like some creature comforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leans a bit more though.Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
